Favorite-Things-Phone-Dump Friday

I had a hard time catching my breath this week.

Besides the general busy-ness of working long days and having plans every night, the news from around the country and in the blogworld has seemed particularly awful and heartbreaking.

And this week there were reminders of the car accident Chris was in over a year ago...and the anniversary of the suicide of one of my former students. 

And the weather was super cold crappy which doesn't help either.

It was just a tough week.

So sorry to bum you out on a Friday afternoon.  But I do have a few pictures to dump, which will hopefully brighten my mood.

Favorite Thing #1: After a 22 day hiatus, my family inspired me to get back out and run...and we did it together

Favorite Thing #2: My toddler running to me as I finished my run

Favorite Thing #3:
Callie: Um, Mommy, I really want Kona to get off of me.
Kona: Who me?

Favorite Thing #4: Mom's night out with Jenna to make food at Let's Dish!
Thanks to Tracy for organizing the event!  We now have actual meals we can eat...AT HOME!

Favorite Thing #5: It snowed yesterday, but it didn't stick around.
I'm not ready for actual snow yet...

To continue with the busy-ness theme, we have a busy weekend ahead.  But it is filled with all fun stuff, so it should be a good one!
